    I really want to say thank you to Professor Gwen Adshead and Gresham College for that free access to such a great knowledge. I work as volunteer in a independent human right institute that deals directly on Rio de Janeiro's slums, prisional system and streets protests. Those videos are very usefull for my work and understanding.

    Homicide is the best indicator of overall violence because it is nearly always reported whereas other crimes appear to0 go up or down due to changes in reporting rates.

      The only issue with homicide stats is that they don't differentiate between justifiable and unjustifiable.
      Your killing of a violent rapist is considered 1 homicide.
      Someone else's torture-murder of a hitch-hiking 15 year old girl is also considered 1 homicide.

    Please, put boundaries in your expose`. As a criminologist, I consider the findings of other researchers to prevent crimes and to empty prisons whose budget is over surpassing that of education.

    I think defining violence as against only those who are defenseless is a bad initial starting point.

    violence is deepest understanding beyond subject and object duality , in it everyone shows one's true self.

    At 12:30 you propose that rates of violence are higher in the US due to access to firearms. I would also add to that the fact that the US is the worlds first real large scale multicultural experiment. No other nation is such a melting pot. Various sociological studies have shown as cultural distance increases, so too, does violence and societal mistrust increase.

      Just another guy “No other nation is such a melting pot” is not true. Surprisingly, there are other countries more diverse.

      Meanwhile India has, and continues, to exist. The cultural diversity there would make your American head spin 😂

    Generally some good information and food for thought - essentially, care by the parent and by the community and fairness on a government/societal level breed a less violent society. Presentation could be better. Graphs that have no labels for the axes is unprofessional. And there is too much correlation of historical (retrospective) data without a shred of interventional (prospective and experimental) data. The warning about misuse of correlations to mean cause and effect was good, but then that was the whole of the talk.
